How to prepare for the day of the appointment?
While waiting, writing down everything you can will help you (a lot). The doctor will likely ask detailed questions, and you will have more clarity to answer if you have the information at hand.
What is worth recording:
When and how the spot appeared;
What has been applied or done since then;
If the child has had contact with any new product or food;
History of allergies or similar episodes.
A good tip is to take photos daily of the affected area. This way, the professional can see the evolution of the condition even if, on the day of the appointment, the skin has already improved.
